dispatch 10 UIe Cincinnati Enquirerl
WAsHISGToS, ID. c., Feb. 26.-A few DAYS
before the wife of Senator Voorhees, was taken
i'll there came TO the residence Of the Senator
an old blind man named William Beck, who
claimed to be a resident Of Fayette County,
Ind, and who stated that he had served during
the war Of the rebellion as private in Co. L,
10th Ind, during which service he was attacked
by illness, which left him totally blind. Some
years ago he had filed through a claim agent at
Washington an application for q pension on
account of his infrmity. Because of some IT.
regularity or other in the evidence supplied in
support of the claim, the pension had never
been granted.
The old man came to Washington about the
time mentioned, and was told to call upon Sem
ator Voorhees,. He did so, and the sympathies
of the big-hearted Senator from Indiana be-
came aroused, and he went to work at once to
look after the old mans claim. Meanwhile the
Senator's wife was taken i'll and died, and for
a time the prosecution Of the claim was neces-
sarily suspended. As soon, however, as the
Senator returned to Washington from his sad
journey home, aud became settled, he again
took up the blind veterans case. The applicant
had all the while remained in this city.
The Senator went to the Pension Bureau and
withdrew all the papers in the case, which

night. He not only ascertained that the papers
contained evidence sufficient TO allow the grant
ing of the pension, but he put them together
and had them briefed in such admirable order
that the Pension Office clerks experienced but
little difficulty in arriving at an early conclu
sion that the old mans claim was a most meri.

No wonder the survivors, IN their agony OF

head Of Lincoln, The Chief;

A Nations Disgrace.


The mutterings at the vetoing of the De
pendent Pension Bill still continue. Brave
men, now the recipients of the hospitality OF
County almshouses are the suffering examples
of Nations ingratitude, none the less because
the Nation is both ready and willing to give OF
its abundance to cheer their few remaining
years, and is baked of it's generosity by its
Chief Executive. That these patriots are the
objects of charity in Nations disgrace, which
is only heightened by the fact that insult has
been added is the charge that they were not
patriots, but venal mercenaries, who having
sold themselves for hire were amply repaid fol
their services by the paltry dollars they re-
ceived

there were only half dozen other stores on
